A young Eva arrives in the capital and claims it as her own — a Latin dance number sung by Madonna alone.
The Song
Disc one of the soundtrack. With its Latin rhythms and pounding energy, “Buenos Aires” is one of the most Madonna-like moments in Evita — ambition set to a beat.
Alan Parker’s film of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s musical cast Madonna as Eva Perón, opposite Antonio Banderas as Che and Jonathan Pryce as Juan Perón. She won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy.
